Jen Allen-Knuth

Founder, DemandJen | Sales Trainer & SKO Keynote Speaker | Dog Rescue Advocate

I help B2B revenue teams stop losing pipeline to buyer status quo. I'm a former Enterprise seller who carried quota for 18 years, closing 7-figure deals with Fortune 500 brands. Now, I run DemandJen, a sales-training firm trusted by Autodesk, GE, G2, IBM, Bloomberg, Instructure, Sprout Social, and more.

From conference stages to company Sales kickoffs, I'm known for:

- Buyer-Centric Frameworks – Practical playbooks for defeating buyer status quo in outbound pipeline generation, running executive-level discovery, building a point of view on cost of inaction (COI), and gaining consensus with larger Enterprise buying groups. 

- Story-First Messaging – Techniques that replace product pitches with problem-centric narratives that buyers remember.

- Engaging Delivery – A direct, humorous style that keeps even your most tenured reps taking notes.

Featured in Forbes, Sales Hacker, and 200+ podcasts, I combine real-world stories with data-driven insight to move audiences from inspiration to application. When I'm not on the road, you’ll find me in the Chicago suburbs chasing my 4 rescue dogs and 4 step-kids.

Head of DemandJen

Delivering SKO keynotes & virtual workshops that won't put your teams to sleep.

B2B Sales & Marketing teams have tried to earn buyer time and attention with a strategy of "more". 

More dials.
More emails.
More content.
More "value" and ROI.

But, 2023 showed us "more" is expensive and no competition against today's risk-averse B2B buying teams.

Instead of motivating the team to do “more”, I help empower teams to defeat customer status
quo and to make their sales conversations a competitive advantage.

Meet Elsie ❤️

This 5 year old sweetheart LOVES every human and dog she meets. 

At 5 years old, she’s past all that puppy mischief, but still has plenty of joy and tail wags to share. 

She’s gentle, loving, and ready for a home with someone who will love her as much as she loves them. 

Not sure if you’re ready to adopt? Foster her! It’s completely free.

Dark Social & Evangelism @ Chili Piper | Co-Founder @ Revenue Era | Sales Rep Turned Marketer

I'm a unique breed of B2B marketer, one who's actually carried quota and closed deals.

8 years in SaaS sales + 4 years in marketing = a unique lens on what really drives revenue. While most marketers optimize for vanity metrics, I optimize for buyer behavior. Because I've been on both sides of the table.

My superpower? Combining sales instincts with marketing scale to create GTM strategies that break through the noise.

I help B2B SaaS founders and marketing leaders build Modern GTM strategies that turn prospects into customers and customers into advocates. 
My focus: buyer enablement, ecosystem marketing, and creating revenue engines that scale.

The future of B2B isn't about traditional company focused marketing. It's about collaborating together through partnerships, community, and customer-led growth.

The old playbook is broken. Time to build something better.

DM me to discuss your GTM challenges and jam about the future of GTM!
